Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of greening irrigation systems, and in particular relates to an intelligent irrigation management system suitable for greening high and steep rock slopes. Background Art

[0002] With the development of urban construction, the requirements for greening of municipal roads and slopes are gradually increasing. However, due to the different heights of road slopes, traditional artificial irrigation methods are not effective in dealing with slopes with large height differences, and the existing water-saving irrigation technology is difficult to meet the needs of high slope vegetation; therefore, the research on developing an effective intelligent irrigation system has important research significance. In recent years, the use of the Internet of Things has become more and more common in life, and how to use the Internet of Things in slope greening irrigation is still a question to be discussed; for this reason, the development of an intelligent slope greening irrigation smart management system has become an important research direction for new slope greening today, and the intelligent slope greening irrigation system has the characteristics of good adaptability, precise irrigation, high water utilization rate, good durability, etc., which can effectively reduce the waste of water resources and has a high application prospect in the field of greening irrigation. It can better realize the full use of water resources and ensure plant growth. It is worth noting that traditional slope greening irrigation is mostly carried out by flood irrigation and ditch irrigation. There may be large evaporation and leakage losses during transportation and guidance, which may easily lead to water resource waste. In addition, fertilizers, pesticides and other agricultural chemicals used in traditional agricultural irrigation may be carried into rivers, lakes and groundwater by irrigation water, causing water pollution and posing a potential threat to aquatic ecosystems and human health. From an implementation perspective, traditional irrigation systems require a lot of manual operation and monitoring, which is not only labor-intensive, but also easily affected by human factors, resulting in low irrigation efficiency. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop an intelligent, energy-saving, efficient, precise irrigation system that can adapt to various complex environments.

[0003] After searching, the invention patent with application number 202410532772.3 provides a garden greening irrigation and fertilization integrated machine, which also includes a fence assembly and a clamping assembly. The fence assembly includes two semicircular fence bodies, which are interlocked to form a circular fence, which can reduce the irrigation time, improve the irrigation effect, and save water resources; the clamping assembly is composed of a vertical first electric telescopic rod, which is fixed above the bottom plate. The first electric telescopic rod is connected to the first drive box, which contains the first motor. The first motor drives the horizontal second electric telescopic rod, which can achieve multiple uses of one machine and save equipment costs.

[0004] Although the combination of the above components can effectively improve the utilization rate of water resources, the integrated machine involves the coordinated actions of multiple components and multiple electric telescopic rods, which makes the operation of the system complicated and requires high training for operators; the diameter of the fence component is fixed and cannot adapt to trees of different sizes. It cannot effectively fence larger or smaller trees, affecting the irrigation effect. This method requires the carrier to be close to the trees to be irrigated. It may not be able to operate effectively in areas with complex terrain or narrow space. These limitations are not conducive to mass production and are not easy to promote and apply on a large scale;

[0005] The invention patent with application number 202410164917.9 discloses a water-saving irrigation device for landscaping, which includes a water tank, a box cover is fixedly connected to the top of the water tank, a card block is equidistantly fixedly connected to the top of the box cover, and the longitudinal cross-section of the card block is set to a triangle, and a motor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the water tank. The output end of the motor extends to the inside of the water tank and is fixedly connected to a first pipe. However, the structure of the device is relatively complex and requires regular maintenance and cleaning, otherwise it may cause blockage, leakage and other problems. It includes a box cover, a filter screen, a second pipe, a push block, a tension spring, bristles, a drain, a filter plate, a water pump, a rotating rod, a cleaning brush, etc.; water is added to the feed pipe, and after the water is added, fertilizer is added to the feed hopper. At this time, as the first pipe rotates, the feed pipe is driven to rotate, causing the discharge pipe to rotate, and the device rotates. The movable feed pipe can evenly spread the fertilizer in the feed pipe into the water tank. During this process, the device lacks the function of monitoring and adjusting the fertilizer concentration, which may lead to excessive or insufficient fertilization. Rainwater falling on the inclined surface of the block can be concentrated and circulated, and the rainwater can flow along the inclined surface of the box cover to the drain. As the second pipe continues to swing up and down, the bristles can clean the corresponding drain whenever the second pipe swings downward. The device lacks the function of monitoring and processing the quality of rainwater, resulting in the deterioration of the water quality in the water tank, affecting the irrigation effect. Although the above invention patent effectively improves the irrigation capacity to a certain extent and saves water resources, the water-saving irrigation device has a complex structure and lacks fault diagnosis and automatic alarm functions, making it difficult to detect and handle faults in time, and the reliability and ease of use of the device cannot be guaranteed.

[0006] The invention patent with application number 202010142137.6 discloses an environmentally friendly greening irrigation device, which consists of a reinforcement platform, a trapezoidal platform, a total control three-way valve, a height adjustment mechanism, an irrigation pipe connecting rod, and a greening irrigation pipe. A fixedly connected trapezoidal platform is provided in the middle of the reinforcement platform, on which the total control three-way valve is installed, and height adjustment mechanisms are provided on both sides, including an upper adjustment frame, a lower fixed frame, an irrigation pipe connecting rod and a step limiter platform for connecting the greening irrigation pipe; however, the structure of the device is relatively complex, including multiple components such as a height adjustment mechanism, a total control three-way valve, etc., which will increase the difficulty of manufacturing and maintenance;

[0007] The above-mentioned greening irrigation system achieves the purpose of improving greening irrigation by changing the structure of the irrigation system, but has not yet been developed from the perspective of intelligence and energy saving. Based on this, an intelligent irrigation management system suitable for greening of steep rock slopes is proposed, which can not only achieve efficient utilization of water resources but also ensure the growth of plants.

[0033] The data transmission module includes a signal line 9 and an information receiver 12, and the slope information collected by the information collection module is sent to the information receiver 12 through the signal line 9;

[0034] The water and fertilizer irrigation mechanism includes a main pipeline 4, a fertilizer tank 8, a branch pipeline 10, a nozzle 11, a water pump 13, a fertilizer pump 17 and a controller 19.

The main pipeline 4 is connected to the water pump 13 and the nozzle 11;

[0035] The main pipeline 4 is also connected to a controller 19, which is connected to the information receiver 12 by signals. The water discharge area and the water discharge amount of the controller 19 are adjusted by the information transmitted by the information receiver 12, and then the external water resources and water fertilizer are respectively delivered to the sprinkler 11 by the water pump 13 and the fertilizer pump 17 for water and fertilizer irrigation.

[0036] The water and fertilizer irrigation mechanism also includes a control valve 14 , a flow meter 17 and a pressure regulator 20 .
